What is look&roll?

look&roll is a short film festival.

The festival is international.

It takes place every two years in Basel.

What is the festival about?

We show short films.
 The films are about living with:

• disabilities
• chronic illnesses
• neurodivergence

Neurodiversity means that some people's brains function differently than many others.
This is not a disease. It is a natural diversity among people.
For example, this includes people with:

• ADHD
• autism
• dyslexia

Is the festival accessible?

Yes. All film screenings are accessible.

• There is audio description. Audio description means that a voice describes what can be seen in the film.
• There are subtitles with descriptions of sounds.
• There is an inductive hearing system for people with hearing aids.
• There is sign language interpretation during speeches.
• The cinema auditorium is wheelchair accessible.
• There are spaces for wheelchairs.
• There is an elevator.
• There are reclining chairs.
• There is a quiet room.

What is the aim of the festival?

We want to show stories about disabilities that are rarely told.
We want to experience films together.
People with and without disabilities should meet.

What is look&roll on the go?

After the festival, we also show our films in other locations. This allows us to reach people who are unable to attend the festival.

We organize various events:

• Talks
• Workshops
• Short film evenings
